SHALL MAGDELENA REVEAL HER PAST? ADVICE FLOODS IN

Sad Letter Brings Many Responses BY MARTHA LEE Magdelena. " hose sad ifitle letter was printed in this column Wednesday. has been read by hundreds, and a flood of letters with advice to her has been received as a result. As I said in answer to her letter bezgira for a definite "Yes” or "No" as to whether she should tell her sweetheart about her past misstep, ho one ran answer that question except herself If she would be happier free from terror cf fearing that someone might tell him and the agony of knowing she is deceiving him, she would better teli pronto. If she thinks the only way she ever can be happy is fc • having him love her, and that nine chances out of ten he never will if she does tell him the secret, she would better bury the past completely. Wife Sends Advice She has repented of her sin, not only repented, but has forsaken for all time the ways that caused her to do wrong. A woman, who is married, writes In the following letter: My dear Magdelena—Not knowing what y*u might or might not call a great sin. It la rather hard to answer your plea for advice. However, and < you stop to think that your sweetheart will not even consider telling you any of his past escapades? That he will expect his future conduct to be Impeccable and that you shall Judge him only by this. Can you not bring yourself to feel the Same way about it? That happening occurred before you knew him. so he in no way war, harmed by It. because you did not do a wrong against him, but only against yourself. —MRS. A. D. j

Man Gives His Views A man expresses his opinion on the case In question. Der Miss Lee—Personallv. I think Magflelena should relieve her own mind by telling the young man o£ her past. She will not have that dreadful fear hanging over her like the sword of Damocles, that h* might find out. And that's bound to happen sooner or later. If the man is sincere in his love for her. and knows that she is doing right now. he will not hold it against her. I doubt if he himself has an entirely clean past. I can not understand why a man demands so much of the woman he is going to marry than he himself can gi\e. I'm all for helping people along when thev are trying to do right, not holding their past against them. PAST THIRTY. A girl who has had the same problem to solve sends a letter with her ideas on the subject. Dear Miss Lee —I know Just how Mngdelena feels for I am In the same boat myself. An awful mistake has ruined my life and perhaps all future happiness. Not long ago I met a wonderful boy who fell Ir. love with me and asked me to be his wife. I couldn't deceive him. So I told him. He said nothing would matter, when I said there was something I must tell him. but we did not marry. Again in Quandary Since then I have renewed acquaintance with an old school friend of mine. I care mere for this boy than any one I ever have known, but sir.C” my first eyperience in confessing my pvst was so disastrous. I do not know what to do. I am so afraid of losing him. A* long as we are Jus* friends, it will be all right But if he is learning to care for me as much as I am for him. I know I must tell him. In spite of the fact that I might lose him. If he loves me really. I believe he still will love me. BUTTERFLY. It's two to one that Magdelena should tell her sweetheart about her past. It is hard for a man to hear anything wrong about the woman he loves. He detests the idea of her ever having been something he can not conceive of her as being. But if he loves her. is it not true that he will forgive her? Love and faith and forgiveness should go hand in hand. One girl sends in this little line: "Personally. I don't think it is any of Magdelena's sweetheart's business." Which makes it two to two at the last minute.

Family Menu BY SISTER MARY XEA Ssrvlee Writer A market list of some sort, is of course indispensable. The list prevents over-stocking and makes for economy. However, when marketing, the housewife should be willing to buy the best that is offered at the most reasonable price. She should not go with a fixed idea of the exact fruits and vegetables she must- purchase regardless of price. Green peas may be her choice for the succulent dinner vegetable that night, but if she finds the peas shriveled and yellow and a poor investment she should make another choice. A list suggesting a variety of possible vegetables would have helped her in selecting the best one available. The inexperienced shopper may it necessary to revise her list and practice”y remake her menus. For instance, iamb with green peas, creamed potatoes, tomato salad and strawberry shortcake may have been in the housekeeper's mind for dinner. Lamb may be impossible to find, so she may have to substitute beef or veal, which would mean a change in the dessert if beef were chosen, as well as a change in the green vegetables. When making the list, the way in which meats, fruits or vegetables are to be used should be kept in mind. Vegetables wanted for soups need not be as perfect as those wanted for table service. Coarse outer stalks of celery are quite 9$ good for soup as choice hearts and are much cheaper. So a little notation on the list suggesting the use is helpful. Celebrate Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Drake. Kokomo. will celebrate their sixtieth wedding anniversary Sunday with a reception for relatives and friends from 2 to 5 o'clock and 7 to 9 o'clock at night. Sorority to Meet (Beta chapter, Omega Phi Tau sorority, will meet tonight at 8 o’clock at the home of Miss Elizabeth Geldmeier, 1261 West Thirty-third street.

extreme decolletage of this season's evening gowns has created the need for new types of lingerie—and as usual, when such a need exists, it has been met promptly. Some of the brassieres we have seen recently, to go with the evening gowns, which leave the back uncovered to the waist-line, have been of the most delicate lace, crossing the bust in front and dipping sharply at both sides, to meet in the back in a V below the waistline. Such a design naturally calls for the most careful design and fitting, if it is to stay in position. Some of the most interesting models we have seen have been chez Berthe Barreiros, a Parisian creator of luxurious lingerie. For example. brassieres of sheer lace over metal cloth, deftly designed so ns to hold the bust firmly in front, vet leaVe the back entirely uncovered. a tt a ANOTHER note in the present evening mode, which also demands special care in the choice of lingerie, is the tight-fitting about the hips. This calls for lingerie which will lie perfectly smooth and fiat beneath the gewn. And Barreiros has met this need in a number of ways. She shows lovely girdles of printed taffeta, with gaily colored flowers on a black background. For those who prefer "panties,” she shows charming models of embroidered crepe de Chine, cut so as to lie perfectly fiat and fit snugly.

With, sh-h-h-h-h-h, wide cu- j lottes, which can be worn with the blouse and no skirt when a couple of hours of real hard work j confront you. That is what we ; have designed for you—address a letter to the Dare Department of The Times, and put ‘Mouse Dress” on the outside of it, enclosing a 2-cent stamp, and back will come the illustrated leaflet telling you exactly how to make it! u a a WHEN a week-end dress is of beige shirting and has a coat of beige tweed—and then has a slip-overable skirt of the tweed —is it not. oh. very worth while to sketch for you?

Watch for the announcement. tt tt e THIS is a summer of lace, without a doubt. And though we are quite familiar with lace frocks edged with tulle, it was Worth’s idea to provide the lower part of the tulle dresses with lace flounces. This puts an extra covering over the legs without concealing them, and the general effect is very lovely. a a a A SPECIAL offer!

YOUR CHILDREN Child’s Life Is Happy One

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The other day l met a young girl who interested me more than any young person I’ve met in a long time. She had a most amazing capacity for enjoyment. Not only that, but she was vitally and sincerely interested in everybody and everything about her. Not a jealous bone in her body, evidently. Naturally she attracted people. All the young folks w r ere crazy about her. ‘‘l never saw anybody enjoy life so thoroughly as Frances,” I remarked to her mother, who, by the way, is an invalid and has been since Frances was a baby. ‘‘She’s so different from some of these discontented looking friends of hers here at the hotel.” Never Sorry for Self "I guess she is unusual.” was the reply. ‘ But I don’t take the credit. She's her father’s girl. He took her in hand when she was 2, and he made it a sort of hobby never to let her feel sorry for herself. "I don't know how he did it, but he never let her notice too seriously things other children had or did. He'd say. 'Come on, Frank, we’ll take a walk,’ and get her mind off it. I don’t believe she ever knew jealously. "He was home a good bit, so of course he was able to give her most of his time. They walked everywhere. Walking was his cure for every kind of unhappiness or trouble. ‘‘He made her study outdoors all she could. Often she’d study while he fished. He made her help with the housework, too, when she was little. But whatever she did, he wouldn't permit sympathy. Believed in Stoic Idea "I used to think he carried it too far sometimes; once he let her birthday go by without a present or even a cake, just to test her. The next week, as a reward for her not mentioning it. he bought her a bicycle. He believed in the stoic idea, you see.” “Well, it's worked wonders." I had to admit. "She's as unconscious of herself as a moving picture.” ‘‘Yes. she is. She’s been a good lesson to me. I’ve lived for years feeling sorry for myself but I’m get- ' ting over it just watching her. Sympathy's a good bit like oil. I guess. Too much of it gets gummy and it only acts as a hindrance. “Anyway, you see for yourself what the other method did. Now that I'm converted I believe a book , could be written on ‘The Danger of i Too Much Sympathy for Chilore&' ”

I Vacations A id Happy Marriages BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Brides are pathetic beings. And so are grooms, for that matter. But if one is a woman and has been married for five years or more, one can’t but sympathize with the glowing happy girls walking to the altar. Perhaps that is why all women cry at weddings. They say it’s because they are envying the romance and happiness of the girl. I know’ better. They cry because they are so glad their own honeymoons are over, and the hard period of marriage successfully passed. And they may pity the girl who has to take her medicine and learn commonsense. Because brides are the victims of their sentimentalism. Hence the letter from a very young one the other day brought back smiles and memories to me. Vacations Aid Love Her husband, she says, no longer is in such a hurry to get home to her. He likes to play golf again and now and then evinces a desire to spend an evenings wdth the boys. She can’t understand it. She will some day, however, after she has grown a little older. I take no stock whatever in the truth of those tales of married people who have never been separated for a week-end. It it’s true, they don’t know what they’ve missed. For marital love flourishes on vacations. The men, I believe, generally feel like pseudo-criminals when they have to leave the little woman for a few days. They feel certain her heart is breaking. This is because they are so susceptible to flattery and have been told so often that her home and heart are desolate without them. Good to Be Alone Few r of them realize, I dare say, that she secretly is very pleased to hear of their departure. And this is not because she w r ants to have a date with another man, either. It’s merely that every intelligent person likes to be alone now and then. Wives are no exception. So, by and by, the little bride will find that she is feeling less and less miserable when her husband announces his plans for an evening out. When this happens she will have grown into a real wife. For little brides, like all of us, must learn the great truth of human content, the truth whose mastery alone can confer happiness. It is that every soul must depend upon itself for its deepest joy. MRS . JOHN EMERSON HONORED AT PARTY Mrs. John Rabb Emerson, a recentbride, was the guest of honor at. a luncheon bridge party given today, at the Marott hotel by Miss Alma Lucas. Covers were laid for sixteen guests at a table centered with a plateau of pink roses and orchid astors. Other decorations and appointments were in pink and orchid.
